Shingo Kunieda (国枝 慎吾, Kunieda Shingo, born February 21, 1984 in Tokyo) is a Japanese wheelchair tennis player. He is the current world No. 1, and was the ITF World Champion from 2007 to 2010. He was also the year-end No. 1 in doubles in 2007. In 2007, 2009, 2010, 2014, and 2015, Kunieda achieved the Grand Slam in singles (Wimbledon did not host wheelchair singles events until 2016, so the Slams were composed of the other three majors). In 2007 and 2008, Kunieda also won three of the four Masters series events. Kunieda is the only player to retain the men's singles title at the Paralympics – he achieved victory in 2008, 2012 and 2021. In addition, Kunieda won the gold medal in the men's doubles of the 2004 Paralympics, and has been part of two World Team Cup wins. With 101 career titles over singles and doubles combined, including 46 majors, Kunieda is considered by many to be the greatest male wheelchair player of all time.[1]

Kunieda had a three-year, 106-match consecutive win streak. The streak began after his loss at the 2007 Masters and it was ended by Stéphane Houdet in the semifinals of the 2010 Masters.[2] Between January 2014 and December 2015, Kunieda was on another big winning streak of 77 matches. It was broken by Joachim Gérard during the round-robin phase of the 2015 NEC Masters tournament. Despite losing a match in the round-robin phase, Kunieda qualified for the semi-finals and went on to reach the final, where he was again beaten by Gérard.

Kunieda is a right-handed player whose favorite surface is hard court. He is coached by Hiromichi Maruyama.
